Traffic flow.

During Fair week, Mandt Parkway will become two-way traffic due to safety concerns for pedestrians.

Parking.
-
This year, there is no street parking available on Mandt Parkway during fair week or during move-in/move-out. This includes the stretch along the Sheep/Beef Barn and is due to having two-way traffic.
-
Parking on the grounds has always been limited, especially in wet conditions.
-
Plan to drop tack daily and utilize street parking in the neighborhood, as you would with other Fairs such as Rock County.
-
Trailers may not be stored or parked on the grounds during Fair week.
-
Open show trailers only permitted to park day of show.
-
Other trailer parking is recommended South of Mandt Park, on the East side of 4th Street.
-
As mentioned, you may need to utilize your trailers for overflow storage. Space in many of the barns is limited this year, due to entry numbers.
